At Realty by Dale Thomas we understand how difficult it is to own and maintain a home in Southwest Florida when your primary residence is hundreds, sometimes thousands of miles away. When a client trusts us with their property, we treat the home as if it were our own. We specialize in the management of property within the Sarasota/Charlotte County areas. By serving locally, we are able to keep a watchful eye over each property under our management. A maintenance inspection is conducted quarterly to certify your home is being well cared for on the interior as well. Our goal is to maintain the integrity of our client’s investment as well as the reputation of our business.
